My point is that being “pre-screened” won’t guarantee you that you are safe from those that pass the test. That is the argument you will hear from those that support the current security measures.

Be prepared to counter the argument effectively, not with an ignorant rant. In this case the security clearance parallel won’t hold water.

Just as soon as I click “post”, I will take a sip of my diet Mountain Dew. I have absolutely no guarantee that I won't choke to death on it.

When our current system is 100% perfect in preventing shoe bombers, Fruit of the Loom bombers, and cargo bombs, get back to me.

There is NO such thing as perfect!

“Be prepared to counter the argument effectively,”

I think I have.

“not with an ignorant rant.”

What rant?

“In this case the security clearance parallel won’t hold water.”

I think it will, as your strawman makes the case that any and all actions taken by the government for “safety” are reasonable. In that case, there is no end to TSA tactics, too include body cavity searches. Why? Because there was an assassination attempt by a guy that used his body cavity to hide the explosives. It was set off by a cell-phone. And since everyone is capable of going bad (can't profile), then everyone must submit to a prison-style body cavity search and leave their cell-phone behind.

Question is: Where do you draw the line? Where do reasonable people draw the line?
